in the immediate vicinity of the car could have been badly injured or killed but the blast would have not taken down a building or caused far-reaching damage but the psychological impact was bad enough. >> no kidding. knowing how busy times square, is it would have been a lot more than 40 people. thanks, bob. now harry. hashg cahill is standing by at the news desk. >> good morning. still no budget but congress is adjourned at lawmakers hit the trail for the final push of the campaign season. they passed a stop gap bill last night to keep the government running until early des dis. a vote, however on extending bush-era tax cuts was put on hold. congress also pace ad blueprint for nasa's future including money for an additional shuttle flight. the house passed a bill to provide free health care for workers who helped clear the ruins of the world trade center after 9/11. mks donald's is threat does not tock cancel health coverage for some 30,000 employees because of the new health care reform law. the fast food giant offers

the official saying is the recession is over. i don't buy it. 9.5% of the country is unemployed, double that underemployed. tell them the recession is over and they will probably laugh in your face. who's been hit? manufacturing, real estate. this has been i don't want to say a narrow recession but if you are in those industries, if you are a home builder or real estate agent, you've been slammed. >> yeah. demographically, who are the people out there who need the jobs the most? >> you've got teenagers are desperate. i mean, more than one out of every four teens 16 to 19 is out of work, one out of every four, which is incredible. obviously people in the manufacturing industry, a bit of positive sign there but still very difficult for them. and if you don't have a college degree, there's about a 15% unemployment rate. >> very difficult. there were temp jobs supplied by the government because of the census, those have gone away. as we get closer to christmas, might there be another temp upswing. >> let's hope. macy's announcing recently

65,000 people will be hired and toys 'r' us saying 40,000 people will be hired. so, you will get a job for two months then come january can, you convert that to full time? that's that underemployment number we talk about so much. >> right. we have seen an uptick in manufacturing, not a giant uptick but a microtick perhaps. how do you read that? >> at least it's a tick. >> right. i mean, i'm serious. it's small there. are some signs. you have general motors plants that were supposed to have furloughs, they've brought some people back. >> yep. >> starting to see a little signs of life. i don't want to paint an overly rosie picture, harry but at least trickles there. if you want to be a miner, right, mining jobs are in great demand president you and i will go to wisconsin or wimbledon and dig a gold mine, silver mine, iron-ore mine, there's -- i'm serious, mining is booming. >> it is an option, absolutely an option. one of the other industries that has jobs going begging is health

care. it is a little late for me to go to medical school but if you are a nurse or -- i mean there, are all kinds of jobs out there that literally, they're begging. >> the story that has not been told enough, perhaps, is that there are more than three million job opening in this country, according to the bureau of labor statistics. >> wow. >> we don't hear that much, do we? >> yeah. >> so many of those, are, as you said, harry, in health care, nursing doctors or the back end. even the insurance companies, believe it or not. >> somebody's got to push the paper. >> believe it or not will hiring. accounting is another one. a proclivity to help people or good with numbers an accountant or in kelt care you can probably name your job right now, actually. >> brian sullivan thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> up next, saying "i'm sorry" a new study says it's not that men can't apologize, they just don't. we'll be right back.

in this morning's health watch, saying your sorry. according to one new study it is actually easier for women than for men to say those three little words. the sfloen apparently men just don't always know when to say it. he >> i am deeply sorry. >> i'm so sorry. >> i apologize first and most importantly to my family. >> reporter: sometimes, men make mistakes that are so big, they realize pretty quickly an apology is necessary. >> i have sinned against you. >> reporter: but what about the little slip-ups throughout the day? do men have a tougher time knowing when to say "i'm sorry"? when you look at your relationship in general, who would you say says the phrase "i'm sorry" more? >> me. >> no way, donald, that's a no-brainer, really. you just said it in person. no, me. >> reporter: you do. >> absolutely. >> reporter: a recent study out of canada found women are

quicker with an apology than men but not for the reasons you might think. the fascinating part of the study is that they actually showed just random scenarios and of those scenarios, women perceived more of them needing an apology. so, it's not that men don't want to apologize, it's just that they look at a situation, they don't see it as apology-worthy, whereas women do. >> reporter: hear that, ladies? it's not that your man atrade to poll geez, he just doesn't know when he needs to. >> women are a lot more considerate than men. they are always worried about offending their friends or their significant others so they're much more apt to apologize for things that would never bother a guy. >> reporter: you are apologizing because you mean it or to placate her? >> because i mean it. >> reporter: while it may be difficult for men to realize they're in the wrong, getting into the right is actually pretty easy. >> some men don't apologize enough. i don't see what the big deal is. if it is going to quell a situation and make everything

okay, just say those two words. >> are they capable of saying the words, let's establish that firstly. >> can i just hear you say the words? (mumbling). >> come on, harry. >> i apologize all the time. >> you say it. >> i'm sorry. >> i disagree, cooper said you should just say it. i don't think you should just say it to end an argument. what was interesting they had people write down scenarios and when they would apologize so men just didn't find some of the scenarios as quote/unquote offensive as women, bringing up an interesting point we agreed on i think as women sometimes we apologize too much. we say we're sorry all the time when we shouldn't. >> and it almost doesn't have a meaning. >> i'm not sorry, harry smith. >> ah-huh. >> you've bun wrong, what, maybe -- soinchts you're lying. you're lying to us. >> you have been wrong two or three times in your life? have you said you're sorry. >> yes, i'm sorry. >> say it again for good

remember yesterday we were saying it didn't have to have a name to be a problem. dave just proved it and first warning doppler radar. we are in a river of moisture showing no signs of letting up. we thought earller, take a look, that we may get a break midday with more coming our way but right now i'm not seeing a break on the radar. watches, warnings for all >> announcer: this weather report sponsored by farmers insurance. we are farmers. we are insurance. >> keep in mind the big concern today is not so of the wind from this system, it's just the rain. there's nowhere for this water to go and it's working its way up the east coast. if you are traveling today, it is going to be tough going out there. that's a quick look at your

joins us from vancouver, washington with more. good morning. >> good morning. bethany storro had nothing to stay to reporters entering court yesterday. she faces charged of theft in the form of tens of thousands of dollars donated from well-wishers before they learned the attack was made up. bethany storro appeared in court wednesday, carrying the scars from a hoax that captured the sympathy of the country. >> you wish to plead not guilty at this time? >> yes, your honor. >> reporter: the 28-year-old pled not guilty to charges of stealing $28,000 in donations from well-wishers after she allied about being atacked with acid. >> did you wake up that morning and go, i'm going to carry some acid in a cup and throw it on the first person i see. >> reporter: initially she claimed she was randomly attacked by an african-american woman who said, hey, pretty girl before throwing acid onto her face. later she confessed in a police interrogation buying drain cleaner for $17 and deliberately

burning her face in an attempt to commit suicide saying, when i realized it wasn't killing me, i thought maybe this was the answer to all my problems, to have a different face. >> when you put all of these behaviors together, we're seeing someone who has a severe emotional disturbance. this goes beyond a depression t. may even be delusional behavior, perhaps thrown in with some sort of sociopathic behavior, too. >> reporter: court records show she went on a spending spree with the donation money purchasing clothes, train tickets a laser facial peel, apple computer item and dinner for her parents, bills that added up to $1500. >> i think a court is going to be skeptical of they claim she suffers mental illness, because the obltive evidence shows that she was motivated by money. >> reporter: a motivation that could cost storro 15 years in prison and a $30,000 fine. bethany's trial is set for

december 20th. for now, the special bank account where those donations are being kept has been frozen and her parents are pledging to return every dollar of the 28,000 she received. erica. >> priya david-clemens in vancouver, washington, this morning. thank you. hollywood legend tony curtis has died. a major star in the 1950s and '60s, he had a number of roles including in the comedy "some like it hot" with marilyn monroe. >> that's my hobby. >> you collect shells? >> yes. so did my father and my grandfather. you might say we had a passion for shells. that's why we named the oil company after it. >> curtis starred in dozens of films and received and oscar nomination for his role "the defiant ones." tony curtis died last night at his home in las vegas. he was 85. now, here's maggie. >> erica, thank you. up next here on "the early show," do women in their 40s need mammograms? we'll look at the latest evidence that says yes. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. ♪

welcome back at 8:10. when should most women start having mammograms? last year a blue/ribbon panel suggested at 50. now a new study suggests women in their 40s wo have mammograms can significantly cut their risk of dying of breast cancer. our dr. jennifer ashton is here to tell us morning. good morning, jen. >> good morning, maggie. >> so, what did this study find? >> remember last week we talked about a study out of norway. this came out of sweden. a very large study, over a million women, limitations like every study but found the women in the 40 to 49-year-old age group who had mammograms reduced their risk of dying of breast cancer by 26%. again, i do not think this is a game changer, this is just another another in the battle, ongoing debate between mammogram's pros and cons. >> but it is in keeping what we

heard much of the time women in their 40s should have mammograms and last year this preventive task force changed it to 50. why did they change it to begin with? >> a lot has to do with science, mammography is not a perfect screening test, maggie. it has a lot of limitations involved, it has false positives, in other words finds things that turn out not to be cancer and has false negatives meaning it can give you a normal result with still cancer there. obviously, there's cost involved. it's not a perfect test but right now really is best imaging slash screening test that we have and last year the reason that the preventive service task force said it might not be so great or even recommended in women in their 40s really comes down to numbers. it comes down to statistics. and this study actually was this keep with that. it shows, in order to save one life over 1200 mammograms would need to be done every other year for a ten-year period for women in their 40s. now, the hard-core statisticians and scientists will say, well,

those numbers do not support its use in this age group. >> except if you are the one. >> exactly. but, for women who are that one life or for doctors like myself who sit across from a patient and say, you might be the one or i don't want to miss the one cancer in you, my one patient, emotion comes into play and medicine, as a science but also an art so you have to take into account science, statistics, numbers, you also have to take into account emotion, no getting around it. >> a lot of women probably didn't do it because it was expensive but now with the new health insurance coverage plan it's going to be covered, so i bet we will see more women do it. is that what you would rec hend to your patients, to do it just in case. >> in medicine, in science, we don't want to do things juts in case but want to do things on evidence, do risks and been fit, balance each other out and are the pros and cons in keeping for what we recommend. for low-income women, maggie, mammography is not as accessible

as we would like. we hope with the new health care reform we hope they will have mammography or other screening tests available to them. i can tell you that with anything that changes this quickly, most doctors and most women will stay the course for now and not make any sweeping changes. >> dr. jennifer ashton, thank you, jen. >> you bet. coming up next, to tweet or not to tweet? that is the question and we're going to try to answer it when we come back. you're watching "the early show" on cbs.

but it isn't just for stars and star-struck fans, becoming a popular platform for just about everyone. the fastest growing social network in the world built around one quirky noun, the tweet. no, no, not that a text-based message consistsing of 140 characters or less. when someone tweets, they become part of a global conversation and since there are no limits on what you can say, twitter has become the ultimate soap box. more than 100 million people worldwide use twitter, including some unlikely participants. however none have embraced the trend like she and other stars use the site to speak directly to their fans anytime, anywhere. >> cuts out the middleman and the publicist, true unfiltered celebrity. >> recently ashton cusp ter sweeted against allegations he

cheated on wife demi moore. embattled actress lindsay lohan confessed to the world she relapsed in her struggle with addiction. i did, in fact, fail my most recent drug test, she tweeted. perhaps in an attempt to beat the press by leaking her own gossip. this hip-hop star only needed 17 of 140 characters to say i'm sorry to singer taylor swift for his behavior at last year's video music awards. >> i'm really happy for you. i'm going to let you finish. but beyonce have one of the best videos of all time. >> reporter: no all celebs are on board. they closed their twitter accounts after negative attention. and john mayer, one of the most active on twitter just announced to his 3.7 million followers he is unplugging from the network as he heads back to the recording studio. while distracting for some twitter addictss crave -- of

example. they give me coupons. i have half a shop if i see the say kre promo code every day they give me a discount. >> one of our white house kors defnts is an amazing person on twitter because he tells you really interesting things all the time. >> i was thinking you would be, too. but i ound ut on your twitter account you haven't signed in like in like a year. so, i didn't know what was going on. >> i decided i really wasn't that interesting. >> yeah, you are, like breaking news stuff. >> all of that stuff there. are good tweets and bad tweets. what's -- help us understand -- first show us a bad tweet. >> things that drive me crazy, the most powerful ceos and executives with thousands of followers put pretty bad tweets up there, like embarrassing for them. example, bad tweet, ooh, i'm feeling a little tired going have a green tea like what does that bring to the table? i don't know. >> which is my argument about twitter. >> but you can have a good tweet. for example in i want to go an

now and say, hey, turn on "the early show" we are talking twitter 101, it is realtime and you can tune in, also. >> how do you rake through the -- how do you get -- separate the weet from the chdz haffe, as it were. >> that's on you. you for me, my world is the tech world i get a lot of realtime news faster than from news stations just by following good people on twitter. >> how do you find out then what others are tweeting? >> exactly. you go to your home page. every time i sign in, every one of the people i'm following the pop up. it is just that easy. remember it is realtime. hopefully you are following people with informative things to say. >> so, say, for instance, you can tweet, help me find blah, blah, blah. >> exactly. >> or what's the best site for blah, blah, blah or who's the best person for blah, blah, blah. >> for example if i want to find breaking news i'll search cbs and automatically see all the cbs channels i can tweet.

if i want to follow them, i hit follow and instantly can see their entire feed. it is that easy. with a site like cbs it it is cool, keeping you in the know, an example of good tweets. >> you also need to understand the vocabulary. >> yes. >> can you teach us? >> the twitter world has this whole vocab. the first you need to know the at symbol if put it before any user name it means you are sending that person a message. pretty simple. then retreat, rt, actually short say one of my friends sends something really interesting, maybe my friends want to see that, too. i can actually retreat. i'll show you how easy it. i can send that message clicking the re-treat and that appears on my page. >> following versus following. >> you can following people who are interesting and people can

it's impossible to shoot. so, no. good luck. and then the director wrote me a letter which was a little longer than the script and describing exactly how -- >> how he would do it. right. >> what he aimed to do and what i think he achieved you take this very small space and you create a universe in that small pace and a lot of people think you would be very clos tro for pick and confined, what would you do, in a coffin the entire movie, we never cutaway but by the enyou feel a universe and get to know this guy so well. >> this is not like anything i think i've ever seen. you've got to know this is not like anything you have ever done. in the process of doing this, this as intense as anything that's ever been on a screen. >> yeah. >> what was it like to do? >> you know, i wish i could say it was a little fluffy to do but it was that intense. i mean, i think i spoke maybe ten words socially throughout the whole shoot. i mean, i just -- everybody had their heads down. it was really hard for the crew,

in fact. the crew would have to leave the sound stage, sometimes. we shot in barcelona in spain and nobody spoke english and it was isolationist and fed into that but the shooting process was not unlike most dental surgeries, really awful. if a fentist used only hammers >> i was going to say without the stuff that helps you not feel it. >> yeah, exactly. >> you go through an intense experience, shot this, what, two weeks? >> 17 days. >> 17 days. when it was over, did you freak? >> i did freak. i mean, there was just a ryan-sized hole in the side of the sound stage on my way to the airport, i'm out of here. i was practically skinless. it was just -- yeah, it was -- it was -- the movie is so bloody scary that, you know, i think you have that thought when you watch the film, what would i do if this was me? what would i do? and i think, going through that physically for 17 days was just i think enough for anybody. >> man. you know this is one of those

things that's going to happen in your life, i'm sure you didn't anticipate it as you were reading it, maybe, well, let's give this a shot. this will be a game-changing moment in your life, i mean career-changing moment. >> yeah, it felt like that. it felt like that when i saw the movie the first time. when i was shooting it, i didn't think that anyone would ever see this movie, to be honest with you. >> really? >> yeah, i mean. >> would never get distribution. >> it's just -- i mean, it felt hitchcock, it had that kind of feel to me and there was something old-fashioned and also something completely modern because it had never been attempted before. >> one of the reviews i read said hitchcock will turn over in his grave because it's that good, taken to a whole different level. couple other things i want to talk to you about, not the least of which is "green la tern" right you. >> yeah. >> are you done with that. >> just funnished four weeks ago. >> as as opposed to 17 days did, it take like 17 months. >> it took forever. i can't remember when i wasn't shooting "green la tern" i was

of the time and go to google and say make money from home or make lots of money and press send, the things you will get back nine 9.9% of the time are scams. things to look out for are area mom makes $3,000 in a week. things like, send us some money and we're going to promise you massive returns. those are the types of things to watch out for and also, just as an overview, if it sounds too good to be true, it very likely is. a lot of money for a little work or little experience likely is a red flag. >> all right. but there, are plenty that are on the up and up. let's talk about some of them. i've heard about people running customer call service centers from your home. how you go about that? >> a couple of companies out there very highly rated from the better business bureau that help you get your resume out to these call centers so you can work from home, have a job sometimes with benefits, sometimes with bo thusses involved that doesn't require a lot of skill in the firstples. one of the big things you are a native english speaker because a lot of these companies are

looking for alpine access offers online training. you can go to your website on the lower third of our screen and they will let you know what opportunities are out there and also call center careers, you can brows jobs throughout the united states and they have a list of some of the top job opportunities on their website. >> those two websites connect you to a company you can work for in customer service. i have heard you can be a tutor online if you are proficient at something. do you have to have a degree? >> in some cases do you but in many cases you need proficiency and can test to see whether you are capable but great for people who are bilingual or know math really well or edit. there is such a great demand. tutor.com is hiring right now and universal class. one last thing that i'd like to say for people who have that skill set, if you are willing to leave home, you can go to craigslist and say i have this skill set, i'm a willing tutor and in many cases college

campuses are great for advertising the skill set because there are so many people and they need the extra tut tutoring. >> and you can find them on the internet. you can sell your gold on the internet, what's the best place. >> go to one the better bns bureau says are strong. you why local jeweller is a great place to start with for a sense how much is this gold worth. i want to say one thing about this. people often think i don't have anything around the house. you'd be surprised. in many cases there is value and the gold is at a record high, $1300 an ounce, you can get a pretty good deal. >> especially when you put them altogether and make a nice little chunk. >> exactly. they are looking at the weight. >> what if you make something, is there a place you can sell your stuff, crafts? >> fc.com is a great place. >> what is in. >> etsy.com, a lot of people are
